Hey BP Community - My employer does not match 401k contributions so I'm considering abandoning the contributions altogether and instead investing in something like the SPY ETF on a regular basis. 

Hello BP Community!

Instead, I will let the community discuss who is good, who is bad, and call out their perceptions of the unethical/unprofessional. 

Hopefully, he has the courage to continue on his REI education journey, and keep coming back to this awesome community where others will actually give him advice. sometimes the truth is what is needed.. wholesaling is a dying niche states are outlawing it as we speak.

Is that the best way to engage the Jake and Gino community? 

You will find many many resources here and a community of like minded folks willing to help you out in just about any way you can think of.I am on the lending side of things and am a broker. 

Hello BP community, I am reaching out for advice on a financial decision I made that I am now realizing was a mistake.

And if I can be of any value to someone looking in TN, please let me know.Hi Dirk, welcome to the BiggerPockets community!

He had a strong portfolio with solid cash flow, but the big banks just couldn't see past their standard debt to income calculations.What finally worked for him was connecting with a local community bank that actually took the time to understand his overall financial health.

There are a TON of online communities as well, and perhaps those groups online have some individuals not too far away from you.Hope this helps!
